Poem - Butterfly's Wings
Journey of Hearts
A Healing Place in CyberSpaceTM
The author of this poem believes
that if we bring together all the wind from the wings of many butterflies
it will make a great difference.
I believe that with the Journey
of Hearts site, we have brought together many butterfly wings and are creating
a great wind, which is starting to be felt.
Butterfly's Wings
You let me hear the heartbeat
of life,
a sound of your gentle breath.
A life-giving rhythm,
wrapped in the most gentle touch.
A word
from the mouth of a friend.
It takes nothing more
than the wind from a butterfly's
wing
to push me over the edge.
There take nothing more
than a quiet love
to show me the land of heaven.
Fly me up,
in your heavenly land,
show me your golden gates
Take me to joy, and happiness,
and find me my quiet place.
Let me sing out my sorrow,
and praise you with joy,
let me feel all I ever have
felt.
Take my hand and guide me,
to wonderland,
where your magic can
bring me to life.

About the Author
When I discovered this poem I
wrote to Nina for permission to include it on our site. Nina responded
by sharing her "Butterfly Philosophy."
I am not sure whether those
thoughs have grown in me since I wrote this Butterfly poem, or it somehow
was already there in my unconscious and was one of the reasons why I wrote
the poem.
The wind from a butterfly wing
is so small that we won't notice it, yet if we put all the wind from all
the butterflies wings together, there would be a great power. Sometimes
that little wind is the last 'drop of wind' we need. Even though we usually
don't notice this wind, it is important and does make a difference.
I hope to be someone, like a
butterfly wing, that will make the big differences.
